Warmaster was one of several short-lived Games Workshop systems released during its late-90s-mid-2000s Lord of the Rings-license boom era. It depicted 10mm-scale armies fighting grand-scale battles in the Warhammer Fantasy Old World setting and, like many of its contemporaries (Epic, Mordheim…), its appeal has long outlived its official rules and models support, which crawled along for over a decade before rattling its death in the early 2010s. Nowadays the game is kept alive by a devoted community of fans playing and developing the unofficial Warmaster Revolution ruleset, buying/selling/trading old official models, and creating new unofficial models and even whole new unofficial armies through the wonders of 3D printing.
A lot of things, good and bad, happened in my 20s. I learned a great deal, but I still seem be growing, developing, changing. Even just in the last year I have experienced so much change! That has been a Lot, sometimes, but it’s all going in a good direction. I’m looking forward to seeing how I continue my little journey for the next decade, figuring out what I like, doing things, making things, learning things…
Mostly I’m excited to see how my friendships continue and how new ones come along. The way my friends grow and change. Yesterday evening I hosted a party at my flat and was overjoyed to have friends arrive, chat, be merry, and eat my delicious cake. I promise myself lots and lots more of that to come.
Anyway. Yes. 30 years, good!
Although I think I’m coming down with a cold. The first cold of my 30s, on day one! The humanity! ↩
From now on I’m going to try writing monthly summaries of my hobby goings-on. It’s been a slow month, hobby wise, thanks to being in recovery1, sick and/or busy, so there shouldn’t be too much to write for this one, I hope.
On Tuesday 14th February I fought my first battle in my 1k league group, playing my dark-aelves-themed Cities of Sigmar list against Charlie’s freshly-enbookened and newly-painted squigs!
This battle report is much-delayed, so I don’t remember all the details, but it was a good game of Warhammer, and the nice thing about good games of Warhammer is you always remember the important bits.
On February 1st (help, I am very bad at writing these reports in a timely fashion) I played another game of AoS at Red Dice Games in Leith, this time against Sam and his Slaves to Darkness.
